Who's top of your RSS list? Where do you go for online journalism news? Where do you go for debate? For advice? And for sheer fun?

Hi Paul, I think you were after a short answer, but... I subscribe to most of the blogs from the nationals, especially Guardian and Telegraph who both have good news blogs, as well as a few regional papers. Ian Carter, editor of the Croydon Advertiser, has an entertaining blog about his work and doesn't just talk about how amazing that week's paper is as many local editors do.
But for bloggers (in no particular order) it's Jeff Jarvis, Adrian Monck, Iain Dale, Guido, Martin Stabe (I work with him but I'd read it anyway), Nick Robinson (BBC), Benedict Brogan (Daily Mail), Martin Belam (Currybetdotnet), Heather Hopkins (Hitwise), Madame Arcati (enjoyable and occasionally borderline libelous Fleet Street gossip) and many others.
For fun stuff I recommend the Great Big Veg Challenge in which a mother tries to get her two fussy kids to eat every vegetable ever.
Incidentally I've just taken all the nationak papers' news RSS feeds off (a) because there aren't enough hours in the day and (b) they tend to cover the same stories and tedious reading eight versions every day.

I think something more tech-oriented would be to have your readers upload their opml files (which contains all RSS feeds), see who's most popular and comment from there.
I'd love to give it a try but I don't really have time these days...
cheers

My del.icio.us network is always at the top of my RSS reading list. Some of the key contributors to that feed are David Black, Richard Sambrook, Kevin Anderson, Ryan Sholin, Howard Owens, Will Sullivan and, um, yourself. Those people also have great blogs.

Some good names on there already.
I'd second Martin Belam (Currybetdotnet), Howard Owens, Ryan Sholin, Martin Stabe, Jeff Jarvis and (with no hint of crawling) Paul's Blog. Lost Remote is a good pointer to a lot of stuff. Notes from a teacher by Mark Hamilton is good for that as well. As is Will Sullivan’s Journerdism. Alf Hermidas blog, Reportr.net, is getting scarily more wise everyday.
The geek in me points me towards Mashable and Techcrunch each day.
I’d also second doing the technorati thing that Martin pointed out.

Not counting all of the above - fave reads include Munir Umrani, Seamus McCauley, Marc Andreessen, John Robinson, sans serif, Jeff Matthews (finance) and Lloyd Shepherd and then the rest of the usual suspects...

Great idea for a discussion!
I produce the Online Publishing Update for the Newspaper Association of America (www.naa.org), and my Bloglines list is constantly full with 60+ feeds -- some of which don't always have relevant stories, but most do. Top bloggers include Jeff Jarvis, TechCrunch/Michael Arrington, Online Journalism Review, Online Journalism Blog (of course!), Howard Owens, MediaShift/Mark Glaser, Jay Rosen's PressThink, Journerdism/Will Sullivan, Rob Curley, Steve Yelvington... I could go on.
For news sites/sources: The most interesting ones right now seem to be TechPresident, PaidContent.org and CNet/News.com... And I frequently check the WSJ, NYTimes, Washington Post and other major dailies. This is in no way a complete list.
Oh, and my own online media blog, called The Digital Edge, is at www.digitaledge.org.

Andy Dickinson, Lost Remote, Will Sullivan, Melissa Worden, Angela Grant (News Videographer), Ryan Sholin, Online News Squared, Steve Yelvington, Multimedia Shooter and Multimedia Reporter -- these are my favorites. They all write about online journalism.
I catch up on Mashable and GigaOM in big gulps. When the RSS reader says "100+," then I go in and scan all the posts in one long session. Oh, and also Read/Write Web. I love that one, but I also save it up for the big gulp treatment.

Hi Paul,
My favorite RSS feeds are: The Happiness Project (also a FB group now), Brazen Careerist, and Seth Godin.
My top b2b press blogger is Paul Conley.
I've also learned a lot (including RSS feeds and delicious) from Lifehacker.
